Like many fillies without a cutie mark, Trixie finds herself feeling aimless and unsure of herself. Naturally, she dreams of something big and hopes it has to do with magic. But the lessons at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns are difficult and some of her fellow students are relentless in their bullying.

While pondering how exactly she is meant to discover her special talent, she meets a creature who seems to wield a great and powerful magic and has an answer to every question, especially the odd ones. And especially the ones Trixie never asked.

A human has arrived in Ponyville that the Apples dubbed, "Anonymous." Twilight is worried he might be dangerous. They know nothing about him after all. However, the Apples still treat him like a common pet, until he begins mimicking speech.

Pinkie being Pinkie gets in the way of one of Twilight's spell. Anon takes up the responsibility of being a pet owner so Twilight can work out a fix.But how can anyone handle a Pinkie even more hyperactive than before?

Nightmare Moon returns and is hit once again with the Elements of Harmony rendering her a mischievous little filly. Much to Nightmare Moon’s annoyance, Anon thinks she's cute as all hell and is the only one willing to put up with her antics and evil, so Celestia tasks him with reforming the bundle of misery and mischief.
